Wendy Wall - The Thunderhead lyrics

So you want to stay out all night And you want to burn a younger woman's light And you slam that door on an honest fight Well, that's all right A woman learns to wear her age with grace Accept the sculpture time carves of her face Then her man's the kind who's afraid of time But that's all right There's a river and the weed And the wind and the seed And we're all as free as we want to be So you want to leave me rocking on the porch And burn me with a younger woman's torch Well, I've made the best of an empty nest But that's all right There's a river and the weed And the wind and the seed And we're all as free as we want to be [ bridge ] This thunderhead was brooding all along you left the kitchen window up too long Now you lie alone And the rain comes home But that's all right Just a pile of bones That a cold wind owns But that's sll right To think I dreamed one time You had dreams like mine but that's alright All lyrics copyright Wendy Wall All rights reserved
